Last in times eye
Almost as long as flowers.
Which daily die.."
Nothing lasts forever, not even the gas from which the matter in the universe is made, and certainly not the intelligent matter which we've become. Every wall that was ever built will crumble, as will the Great Wall of China!

I'm tired of the doomsaying. We have been above Spurs all year, as great as everyone says they are. We should have won yesterday, and we nearly did. Two dodgy pens, Karius could only save one, so maybe a point is a fair result, but we keep clear of them, and Chelsea are in free fall. Given the way the table sits, it's a decent result. This team is good enough to finish 3rd, or even second if United keep dropping points.
Spurs look like they will finish in the top 4, and good on them, but it doesn't scare me. When did our fans get so weak an depressed? We're having a pretty good year! It's February and we've only lost 5 games in all competitions (only 3 in the league) and we have a winable knock-out round in the champions league coming up.

I think the depression comes from the 2nd half where we looked tired especially our only proper striker, Firmino. How do you see us cope with the number of games we have, do you think Solanke and Ings would be able to step in?

Spurs have a great first 11, but no more on the bench than we do. We are out of the cups, so no that many fixtures to worry about. Just CL and the prem to worry about. Chelsea have Giroud on the bench, but they still lose to Bournemouth and Watford right after another. Our team is good enough to finish between 2nd and 4th, and given the way things are going, I see us finishing 3rd, Spurs finishing 4th.

I would prefer having Lamella, Llorente on the bench than Ings and Solanke and Giroud the player who has scored the most off the bench. Spurs has also improved their squad by buying Lucas, so yes, I see their bench better than ours. That was obvious on Sunday

Yes red, your glass is half full, but this is the second half and looking through the empty half at last season when we imploded in the second half, and those tell tale signs of fatigue are shivering ominously once again. One can be forgiven for casting a cold eye on the empty half when you look at our depleted options off the creaking bench!
Anyway hang on to that half full glass red, for the ever shifting sands of our ever expanding desert conceals many a mesmerising mirage, and as they say; a half full glass in the hand is worth two in the bush...think I'll nip out for a full'un to drown my half empty sorrows...
